Some are.. See the odd E30 M3 EVO asking $100k :( Most of the good non EVO one's seem to be sitting around that 45k - 55k mark though

Dad sold his E30 M3 for like 30k in the early 90's :laugh:

Oh to turn back the clock

Tru but you can pick up an early model e46 for 50-60k even the later model 05 n 06 models are only selling for 70-100kish. Still expensive but I don't think I'd have an e30 over the e46

Performance, handling and stopping you wouldn’t realistically buy an E30 M3 other than acknowledging it for what it was, in its day.

A very good one will only make 110rwkw – 115rwkw, which is pretty depressing.

Bargain buying are the E36’s, shape wise they are a bit of an “R33”.. If you know what I mean, but to get into an M3 that can offer enough of a package to play with other cars you cannot go wrong.

Drove a 3.0lt 5speed, not too shabby want to get my hands onto the 3.2lt 6pd thou.

Bit hard getting bolt on performance parts as the US market got the dunga non M3 motor, but never the less cool things still pop up

I can't afford either of them so price is irrelevant

:laugh:

Fair point. I wouldn't mind one as my next car. See how we go lol.

e36 is a good shout I like the r33 comparison lol.

could have got you one a couple years back for a steal, one of our sales men put it in the river after a little drink driving session

Step one: Never get a GF

Step two: never go out

Step three: M3 ownership

Step four: Profit

yeah true. For that kind of money I wouldn't buy a ferrari though.

I’m not a Ferrari-boy anyway, I appreciate their engineering, but not for me. GT3 RS on the other hand

GT3 RS...swoon

VW lover eh?

im goin to try drive the 35 GTR we have traded in tomorrow, the Evo X was a dissapointment

Grew up with a very German family, Porsche’s and M3’s. I’d be disowned if I ever went to the darkside

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
